Rotowire
Perfetti scored a goal on three shots on net in Friday's 6-1 win against New Jersey.
Perfetti grabbed the final goal in Winnipeg's offensive onslaught Friday night. The 23-year-old winger has generated 13 goals, 38 points and 108 shots on net in 64 appearances this season. With Friday's goal, Perfetti tied his career high in points in seven fewer games than his previous 38-point season. While he doesn't have as many goals as last season, Perfetti has made strides as a playmaker and has taken a step forward overall. He is an exciting name to watch ahead of next season but holds good value for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign in deeper leagues.
Perfetti scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Perfetti has been good since his Jan. 24 hat trick versus Utah. Over the nine games since that outburst, he has two goals, seven assists, 13 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating while maintaining a steady second-line role.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Two of each in big win
Rotowire
Perfetti scored a pair of power-play goals on five shots, added two even-strength assists and went plus-4 in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.
Perfetti entered the game with no points over his first three contests of the year before breaking out in a big way. The 22-year-old forward has filled a second-line role, though his line often sees less ice time than the Jets' checking line. Perfetti has added 11 shots on net and three blocked shots over four appearances. As long as he maintains a spot on the second power-play unit, he should be a decent depth forward in fantasy.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Inks bridge deal
Rotowire
Perfetti came to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Winnipeg on Monday, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Perfetti was a restricted free agent coming into this season and had yet to participate in training camp. The 22-year-old can now turn his focus towards joining his teammates on the ice, and it'll be an important season for the youngster. Perfetti is expected to receive top-six minutes and time on the power play. The Ontario native notched 38 points and a plus-13 rating in 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Still unsigned
Rotowire
Perfetti is still a restricted free agent and consequently not taking part in the Jets' training camp, per Jacob Stoller of Sportsnet.ca.
Perfetti was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, but he hasn't enjoyed a breakout campaign yet. However, he did set career highs in 2023-24 with 19 goals and 38 points in 71 regular-season contests. While Perfetti might take another step forward this year, missing a significant portion or all of training camp would put him behind the curve and diminish his chances of having a good year.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Ends pointless streak
Rotowire
Perfetti picked up an assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Sabres, ending a 15-game point drought.
Perfetti is still goalless in his last 19 outings dating back to Jan. 9 versus Columbus when he potted a pair of markers. Despite the extended slump, the 22-year-old winger has already set career highs in goals (14), points (31), power-play points (11) and games played (59). If he can build upon those numbers next season, Perfetti could offer decent mid-range fantasy value.
